or
쎲 Enable the Wi-Fi time control. For more informa-

The Wi-Fi function of the
dLAN 550 WiFi is enabled by default.
If you want to operate the adapter exclusively as a sim-
ple dLAN device via the built-in Ethernet connections
you can completely shut off the Wi-Fi function.
For operation as a Wi-Fi access point, configure the Wi-
Fi parameters for your wireless network as follows:
Network name
For operation as an access point, a (transmission)
channel must be specified. There are 13 channels
available. We recommend keeping the default setting
Auto, since in this setting the dLAN 550 WiFi selects
the channel regularly and independently. If no stations
are connected, the device automatically selects a chan-
nel every 2 hours.
